† 2024 ACC tournament winner Rankings from AP poll |
The 2023–24 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets women's basketball team represented the Georgia Institute of Technology during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. They were led by fifth-year head coach Nell Fortner and played their home games at McCamish Pavilion as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The season started with Georgia Tech winning their first four games, before splitting a pair of games in their early season tournament, the Cancún Challenge. The Yellow Jackets would lose their next two games, which were both against Power-5 foes, and included their ACC–SEC Challenge game. They finished their non-conference schedule with four straight wins, including their rivalry game against Georgia. They finished their non-conference schedule with a 9–3 record. The Yellow Jackets started their ACC schedule with a loss to ranked Florida State before winning their next three games. Of their next six games, they only won once, but four of those games were against ranked opponents. They finished by winning three of their last eight games. The last eight games were not without close games, as seven of the eight were decided by single digits and two games went to overtime. A highlight was the effort against number 6 NC State, as the Yellow Jackets forced overtime, but ultimately lost by one point.
The Yellow Jackets finished the season 17–16 overall and 7–11 in ACC play to finish in a tie for tenth place. As the tenth seed in the ACC tournament, they defeated fifteenth seed Pittsburgh in the First Round before losing to seventh seed Duke in the Second Round. They received an at-large invitation to the WBIT. They were defeated by second seed Mississippi State in the First Round to end their season.
Previous season
The Yellow Jackets finished the season 13–17 overall and 4–14 in ACC play to finish in a tie for thirteenth place. As the fourteenth seed in the ACC tournament, they lost their First Round matchup with Boston College. They were not invited to the NCAA tournament or the WNIT.
